Jonathan Scott Smith Criminal Defense Firm

Nurse Cleared of Driving While License Suspended

A 39-year old registered nurse was stopped by Howard County police in Columbia and charged with two counts of driving while license suspended. The penalty for driving while suspended is up to one year in jail, a $1,000.00 fine, and 12 points. The client needed her license to keep her job, and to drive her young children. The case was heard in the District Court for Howard County, located in Ellicott City.

Defense lawyer and traffic ticket attorney Jonathan Scott Smith represented the nurse, rejected the prosecutor’s plea bargain offer, and aggressively defended the case. The judge granted Mr. Smith’s motion to dismiss one charge after successfully pointing out that the citation failed adequately to charge an offense under the law. After that, the prosecutor abandoned the case and dismissed the remaining driving while license suspended charge, clearing the client of all charges.
